EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study entitled "Relationship of Academic Performance to the Motivation and Self-regulation of Guidance and Counseling Students" aimed to determine the extent of motivation of guidance and counseling students as perceived by the respondents with respect to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, the extent of self-regulation of Guidance and Counseling students as perceived by the respondents with the respect to personal aspect, use of social media, and peer relation, the extent of academic performance of Guidance and Counseling students as perceived by the respondents with respect to recitation/participation, project submission, attendance, and result of examination. The study was conducted during the school year 2014-2015 in University of Rizal System-Morong. Random quota sampling technique was used for one hundred (100) respondents. It made use of descriptive method of research design with researcher-made questionnaire checklist as the major instrument for gathering mean and Pearson-r as the statistical tools used. The collected data were treated, interpreted and summarized. Based on the findings, the following conclusions from the study were drawn that guidance and counseling students are often intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. Guidance and Counseling students are often self-regulated with personal aspect, use of social media, and peer relation. Motivation has something to do with the student's academic performance. Motivation of the students found significant on recitation/participation, project submission, attendance and result examination. Self-regulation of the students is found significant on personal aspect and peer relations but not found significant in the use of social media to the recitation/participation, project submission, and attendance and not found significant in peer relations to the result of examination. Therefore, it is recommended that students should have a clear goal, to be more motivated or have inner motivation to do well in school. Consequently, the Guidance and Counseling section must strength student-life enrichment program to enlighten their interest. Proper or responsible usage of social media must start at home and should be supplemented by the guidance activities in the school under Personality Development Program. Faculty members should be fully aware of the art questioning to aid student in their critical thinking. Office of Student Development Services thru Guidance and Counseling Section should inculcate good studying habits through forums, seminars, activities and attitude among students to become successful in their chosen field. And a parallel study should be conducted using IQ and EQ as variables and widen the coverage to verify the results.
